Podcasts about Jon Voight

Welcome back to Shoot the Hostage for the 6th level of our video game movies season! This week, Dan and Sarah step into Croft Manor, ready to spill the pixelated beans on 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Beware of potential spoilers for the film and the first two Tomb Raider games. Directed by Simon West, we ask why this computer game adaptation failed to capture the mood of the 1996 game, having missed the memo on atmospheric puzzle solving in favour of action. We delve into the games origins and discuss the troubled production of the Tomb Raider games (the first three anyway). We critique the accents from Jolie's suspect English cadence to Daniel Craig's strained American attempt (whose character name had to be changed at the last minute). What else you can expect from this episode: Dan notes the extreme pressure on the game's developers and the production stories for Tomb Raiders 1-3. We debate the movie's bizarre character choices and feeble attempt at female empowerment. In a one-time only deal, we praise Jon Voight for delivering a solid Anthony Hopkins impression. Dan recounts the tales of securing the butler safely in the freezer in the 2nd Tomb Raider game. We critique everyone's accents in the film and wonder why every other word is “bugger”. The use of Basement Jaxx's “Where's Your Head At” is cited as evidence that this film has the most 2001 soundtrack ever created. We express frustration over the final act and why we've covered another movie with an evil triangle. Would you like to see the full lineup for season 12?

This week, Ben and Rob slither into Anaconda (1997), the gloriously over-the-top creature feature starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, Jon Voight, Eric Stoltz, and Owen Wilson. What should've been a throwaway B-movie about a giant snake somehow became one of the most iconic (and endlessly rewatchable) jungle horrors of the '90s.Why does Anaconda work so well as a B-movie? Was the legendary animatronic snake actually more convincing than its CGI counterpart? Which big-name stars almost joined the cast—and would it have changed anything if they had?And here's the real question: is Anaconda secretly a commentary on authoritarian religious belief? Or are we just staring too long into Jon Voight's cursed smirk? The lads wrestle with meaning, nostalgia, and cold-blooded chaos in this deep dive into one of cinema's most unexpectedly enduring creature features.CONSUUUME to find out all this and much, much more!PLUS!

A film crew, a rogue hunter, and a snake that just won't stop—we take on Anaconda (1997) with equal parts curiosity and side‑eye. We open with a quick plot setup and a themed “sinister sip” that goes spectacularly wrong (absinthe plus tequila, never again), then dive into why this movie feels bigger in memory than it does on rewatch. From the out‑of‑place British adventurer to the hitchhiker-turned-expert guide, we map the 90s trope trail and ask the only question that matters: does any of it still create real suspense?We break down the effects with clear eyes: when the practical puppet holds still, menace flickers; when the CGI coils and strikes, the illusion collapses. The sound design turns the jungle into a loudspeaker—snake screams, thunder with no storm—and leaves little room for the quiet dread that makes creature features legendary. There are wins: the snake-mouth camera shot remains gnarly, and the opaque water of the Amazon still triggers primal fear. But character beats struggle under dated writing, from forced flirtations to token comic relief, and Jon Voight's accent becomes its own villain. Along the way, we sprinkle snake facts to separate myth from movie—regurgitation as stress response, nocturnal patterns, and why a real anaconda wouldn't behave like a slasher on a vendetta.If you love monster movies, we place Anaconda on the map next to Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, and The Meg—what those films get right about tension, pacing, and rules. We also share standout trivia: the eye-watering CGI costs, surprising voicework, and the franchise's improbable lifecycle. Our verdict is candid but fair; we can appreciate the campy spectacle, quote a few lines with a grin, and still say the craft can't keep the stakes afloat.Enjoy the breakdown, grab a better drink than ours, and tell us your hot take. If you're into horror deep dives, creature-feature history, and the art of suspense, hit follow, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more curious listeners find the show.

"I don't want your podcast" - Dave takes to the gridiron as he takes 1999's Varsity Blues off the shelf this week. Phil has never seen the movie before and is reminded that even in the hallowed year of 1999, some bad movies still were released. He finds the stereotypes too much to deal and performances that don't quite hit the mark.  Dave remembers enjoying the movie upon release but doesn't think it lives up to his memory. While he enjoyed Jon Voight's performance but the character is too big to be believable. 

Savage speaks with Sean McNamara, a renowned Hollywood director, about his career and his latest film, Bau: Artist at War. McNamara has directed acclaimed films, including Soul Surfer, Reagan, and The Last Firefighter. Savage and Sean discuss Savage's role in the The Last Firefighter and behind-the-scenes from the set with Jon Voight and Kelsey Grammer. Sean shares his journey into Hollywood, reminiscing about his start as a paperboy at Disney and eventually working on major projects. The conversation delves deeply into Bau Artist at War, set during the Holocaust, telling the true love story of Joseph and Rebecca Bau in a concentration camp. Sean emphasizes the miracles and hope depicted in the film and how they resonate with contemporary issues. They also discuss the logistics and emotional challenges of filming in Krakow, the involvement of professional actors, and the impact of technological advancements on film production. Savage underscores the significance of seeing the film in theaters to support true stories of resilience and love.

Rosewood tells the story of an independent Black township in Florida and the barbaric racial violence it faced in 1923, incited by a white woman's false accusation of assault and the Klan-assisted mob that followed. It's believed that over 100 Black citizens were murdered during the attacks, though the true number has never been properly counted.Despite the brutality, the legacy of Rosewood was forgotten—suppressed for nearly 60 years by both those who endured it and those who carried out the violence—until investigators uncovered the truth. That reckoning ultimately led to a 1994 vote in the Florida State Legislature to pay reparations to the survivors and their descendants.In Singleton's hands, the story of Rosewood becomes a rich, downtempo historical epic of properly grave tone; a film that never shies away from the violent realities of Black life in America's south in the early 20th century, the racial animus stoked by class anxieties and lingering slavery era resentments, and the complicity of white audiences and their ancestors in carrying out the violence that shaped our country's past and present.We discuss Singleton's inimitable capacity to juggle the rhythms of mainstream studio moviemaking with the formal radicalism of a Black story told with limited equivocation and compromise, as well as how blockbuster moviemaking primes us for absolution rather than honest reckoning. Then, we explore the rich character work within the film, how Singleton utlizies the embellishments of genre and archetype to root Blackness in a cinematic history linked conspicuously to white supremacy, and the refreshing stroke of having "no good white guys" in the movie. Finally, we relate the film to Coogler's latest, where it achieves a similar filmic mastery as well as where we feel it falls short of Singleton's vision.Read The Rosewood Massacre at Esquire MagazineWatch The 1983 Rosewood Massacre segment from 60 MinutesRead Robert Daniels on Sinners at Roger Ebert....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish.

Giant snakes are scary, but Jon Voight might be scarier. We're talking about Anaconda from 1997.

In 1997, Anaconda slithered into cinemas with a shocking secret: every second of computer-generated snake footage cost $100,000 to create. This wasn't just another creature feature—it was Sony Pictures Imageworks' first fully computer-animated character and a technical nightmare that pushed both digital and practical effects to their limits.To mitigate that cost, and to the benefit of this movie, they decided to rely heavily on practical animatronic snakes. The real hero of this movie was Walt Conti, whose company Edge Innovations faced an impossible challenge: creating two colossal animatronic snakes that could actually swim. Drawing on his experience with aquatic mammals, like the whales of Free Willy, Conti engineered a waterproof marvel requiring ten puppeteers to operate, with pre-programmed movements.The legacy of Anaconda extends far beyond its box office success and Jon Voight's memorably unhinged performance. This film helped launch Jennifer Lopez's movie career and established the template for "so bad it's good" cinema. But is it really "so bad it's good"? Or is just actually one of the greatest creature features of the 90s?I would love to hear your thoughts on Anaconda (1997) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

To mark this cinematic milestone, the Not A Bomb crew clearly had to pick something special, right? So naturally, they chose a $120 million fever dream funded by a legendary director's own checkbook. That's right — it's time to witness the glorious fall of New Rome in Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis (2024).What happens when a filmmaking icon goes full chaos mode? You get a sci-fi “fable” so pretentious, incoherent, and self-indulgent that it makes Battlefield Earth look focused.Troy and Brad wade through the rubble to see if there's anything worth salvaging. Can they find a silver lining, or is this just a masterclass in how not to spend $120 million?Tune in to find out — it's the cinematic trainwreck you can't look away from.Not a Bomb would like to take a moment to thank all our listeners over the last five years. This podcast began as a small COVID project and has evolved into something much more. We couldn't have done it without our fantastic community.Megalopolis is directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Adam Drive, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LeBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishbourne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin HoffmanNot A Bomb has plenty of new designs in our Merch store!

This week, we're firing up the intensity with Heat, Michael Mann's epic 1995 crime saga that brought together two cinematic titans — Al Pacino and Robert De Niro — for the first time ever in a shared scene. (Yes, The Godfather Part II doesn't count — different timelines, folks.) Heat is a gritty, stylish, and emotionally charged cat-and-mouse thriller set against the moody backdrop of Los Angeles. Pacino plays Lt. Vincent Hanna, a relentless LAPD detective with a chaotic personal life and a flair for dramatic yelling. De Niro is Neil McCauley, a cool, calculating career thief who lives by a strict code: never get attached to anything you can't walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. After a high-stakes armored car heist goes sideways, Hanna starts closing in on McCauley and his crew, which includes a young, twitchy Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore in full 90s tough-guy mode. The film builds toward one of the most iconic diner scenes in film history — a quiet, tense face-off between Pacino and De Niro — and ends with a pulse-pounding airport showdown you won't forget. With a killer supporting cast (Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman, Jon Voight, and even a blink-and-you'll-miss-him Henry Rollins), a haunting score, and shootouts that still influence action films today, Heat isn't just a movie — it's an experience. Stylish, sprawling, and full of moral gray areas, it's Michael Mann at the top of his game. So buckle up, because this week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, we're diving deep into the heat, the heists, and that glorious late-90s energy.
